The National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB) (Department of Basic Biology, SOKENDAI) is offering a 10 week research internship program for undergraduate students who wish to gain experience in scientific lab work.

Research at the NIBB covers a wide variety of biological fields, such as cell biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, environmental biology, and theoretical biology, and is conducted to elucidate the general and fundamental mechanisms underlying various biological phenomena.

Each intern will join ongoing research projects in a world-class research group. Interns can also participate in various departmental activities, journal clubs, and seminars by outstanding researchers inside and outside of NIBB.

A stipend will be provided to cover traveling and living expenses, lodging in the institute's guesthouse and overseas travel insurance.
